Brookdale Tallgrass offers a mix of assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, and continuing care retirement community services, so people can find care that matches their needs as they age, and there's also adult day care and at-home health care services if people want help while staying in familiar surroundings. Residents can choose private apartments with bathrooms and emergency call systems, plus staff are around all day and night with emergency response features like pull cords and two-way intercoms that are always being monitored, and there's a 24-hour security system so folks feel safe moving about. The facility includes garden spaces, a courtyard, patio, walking paths, and even golf course access, and you'll find many indoor spaces like a billiards room, a card game room, sunroom, and several living rooms where people can gather or rest quietly, and there's plenty of opportunity to socialize in the residents lounge, at the library, or during the regular events and outings. There's a full-service beauty and barber shop managed by local stylists, and dining options are restaurant-style with homemade meals using quality ingredients, plus they help with transportation, housekeeping, and postal services, so daily chores are lighter on everyone. The staff handles help with things like bathing or medication, and each resident receives a personalized care plan, so if someone needs personal care or mobility support, that's arranged too, and there are counseling services if anyone needs to talk something over. The community is pet-friendly and promotes a social atmosphere, and the setup encourages people to spend time with friends, pursue hobbies, or try new things with group activities, signature programs, and different events on a full calendar. Amenities are meant for comfort and support independence, so people can focus on wellness and enjoy both relaxing and active days, and the goal is to help folks live life as fully and simply as possible, no matter which stage of aging they're in. Brookdale Tallgrass is part of Brookdale Senior Living's network so there's access to their special programs, communication channels like Brookdale Blogs, and health and safety features across the property, but there's no extra information specific to this community beyond these details.
Caring, clean facility; pricey apartments
I moved my mom in here and overall we're very pleased - it's a small, pet-friendly, very clean place with a homey feel, great location and excellent security. The staff are genuinely caring, responsive and personal (Virginia was especially helpful), and they handle meds, laundry, housekeeping and move-in smoothly. Activities are frequent and engaging on weekdays (movies, music, bingo), though evenings/weekends are quieter. Meals get mixed reviews - mostly fine but not outstanding - and apartments are cozy but smaller than some alternatives. Downsides: it's on the pricey side, I ran into a few billing/ scheduling hiccups and occasional staffing/transportation limitations, and you should clarify insurance/contract details up front. All in all it's a top contender for dementia/assisted living - I'd recommend it if the cost and apartment size fit your needs.

About Brookdale Tallgrass
About Brookdale
Brookdale Tallgrass is managed by Brookdale.
Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) is the largest senior living operator in the United States, managing over 640 communities with capacity for approximately 59,000 residents across 41 states and employing around 36,000 associates. Founded in 1978 and publicly traded since 2005, Brookdale solidified its market leadership through major acquisitions including American Retirement Corporation (2006) and Emeritus Senior Living (2014), making it the only national full-spectrum senior living company. Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Brookdale has topped the American Seniors Housing Association's ASHA 50 list and Argentum's largest providers list for multiple consecutive years.
The company's comprehensive care continuum includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). Brookdale's signature Clare Bridge program, developed over 30 years ago by dementia-care experts, provides specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care through two distinct levels: Clare Bridge communities for comprehensive memory support and the Clare Bridge Solace program for advanced-stage dementia residents. The program is recognized by the Alzheimer's Association® for incorporating evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations and features secure environments, enclosed courtyards, Daily Path programming with six structured activities daily, and the InTouch technology platform offering personalized brain-stimulating games and therapeutic content.
Brookdale's holistic Optimum Life® wellness approach balances six dimensions—Purposeful, Physical, Emotional, Social, Spiritual, and Intellectual—implemented through signature programs including B-Fit (eight exercise class options), Brain Fit (mental fitness workouts), My Life Story (resident storytelling), EngagementPlus (interest-based connections), Growing Together (collaborative learning), and The Ageless Spirit (kindness and gratitude practices). The Embrace Family Partnership provides caregiver education and support for families of memory care residents.
The company's Brookdale HealthPlus® care coordination model, winner of the 2024 Argentum Best of the Best Award placing it among the top 1% of operators, is a technology-enabled healthcare service featuring dedicated RN Care Managers who proactively manage residents' health, coordinate care transitions, and help prevent avoidable hospitalizations. Communities using HealthPlus report 78% fewer urgent care visits, 36% fewer hospitalizations, and 63% more completed annual wellness visits. The Personal Solutions program delivers hygiene products, medications, and daily necessities directly to residents' doors with discreet packaging and monthly billing convenience.
Following a strategic divestiture of its home health and hospice operations to HCA Healthcare (completed December 2023), Brookdale now focuses exclusively on senior living operations while maintaining its position as the industry's largest operator, committed to its mission of enriching lives with compassion, respect, excellence, and integrity.
